A good friend of mine and an aspiring writer. His website will be coming soon.
To add to the sinister edge of this shot I will mention that I have seen this guy bench 400 pounds...one of the nicest guys I know though.
Obvious photoshopping here - tone, contrast, brightness. These are his real eyes. I may have gone overboard here but I like it how it is.
